Mrs. Tacy Howe

Third Grade Teacher

 

Welcome  to 4th grade! My name is Mrs. Howe. I’m so happy to be your 4th grade teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. This will be my 9th year of teaching. I taught in Richardson ISD, Plano ISD and worked as the Curriculum Director and Executive Director for The Primrose Schools. This is my 4th year teaching at Shepard, and I am excited to be back!

I live here in Plano, Texas with my husband, son and daughter and one black Labrador. I enjoy going out to eat, listening to live music and trying out new locations around the Dallas area. I love to travel and visit places I’ve never been. When it’s time to relax, I love to cozy up to a good movie and popcorn.
